Question 1: Annual meeting at the
Moscone center , and needs
networking to communicate with each
other . What would you recommend
for their networking?
o Wireless networking
offers a clean and
modern environment for
all of your networking
needs.
o Routing and switching for
efficient and
uncongested network
traffic.
o Fiber optic cabling for
higher speeds and
greater throughput.
o Efficient and convenient.
o Allows ease of access.
Bring in your laptop or
tablet and get
connected with a few
small steps.
o Minimize hardware
requirements for easy
maintenance and
reduced cost.
o Information can be
stored and shared from a
central server and
enhanced with access to
the world wide web.
o Allows users to bring in their
own laptops to connect.
o Also works with tablets and
smartphones, allowing for
more portable ways to
connect.
o Convention operators can
install wired workstations to
broaden access and provide
backup for unexpected
contingencies.
Question 2 : San Francisco law firm
moving to a new high rise building
with two hundred people. What
would you recommend for their
networking?

Only one location
Needs clear line of

Expensive
Slow
Highly unnecessary
and inefficient.



Put this together
because one needs
the other.
Inefficient
Slow
Not very secure



Not very secure
Short range
Needs to be able to
reach throughout
the building
Repeaters/bridges
add to the security
risk



Less expensive than
copper twisted pair
Cables are thinner than
copper twisted pair
Less signal degradation
Less interference
Lower power
consumption
Degrades slower
Non flammable
Lightweight
Durable
Flexible


Harder to tap into
compared to other
networking options
“Unlike metallic-based
systems, the dielectric
nature of fiber optic
cables makes it
impossible to remotely
detect the signal
being transmitted
within the cable. The
only way to do so is by
actually accessing the
fiber optic itself.”


Easier to
share/access files
and data
Makes it easier for
intruders to access
files unnoticed


More secure for a
law firm carrying
sensitive data
Keeps data together
Question 3 : A small criminal law firm
with three people in an old Victorian
building in the mission district. They
need to be careful with the security
of their data. What would you
recommend for their networking?
Do they need networking?
All nodes in the
network are equal and
can communicate
directly with each
other:
o File sharing
o Internet sharing
o Peripheral sharing
(printers, copiers)

Unshielded Twisted-Pair
cables with RJ-45
connectors (Cat-5 or 6)

Modem (Cable or DSL)
w/Internet Service Provider

Router/Switch/Firewall
combo

Centralized
storage and
access of data on
a network







Password-protected network/Workgroup
Firewall (software or hardware)
Wired network w/option of wireless (via router)
Disable network name (SSID) broadcast and limit signal range
Use WPA protocol
Anti-Virus Software (Avast, Norton)
Train employees about smart internet use.
Scheduled back-ups
to NAS
 Back-up NAS to
External HD

Question 4 : Venture Capital
provide money for startup and other
companies. They have three
different location San Francisco,
London and Rome. What would you
recommend for their networking?
We will being using satellite connection and server based with
central server.
Each location will have its own server while San Francisco
server will be the central server.
The reason for satellite connection is because each office is at
different location.
In case of an emergency where satellite is not able to be
used the company will be using cable wire for their
connections.


3 Offices around the
world

Satellite as main
communication
between servers

In the event that the
satellite connection
goes down, we will
have cable
connection as back
